3i Announces Launch of the G10+: World’s First Robot Vacuum with Debris Compression & Extendable Mop

Enjoy 60 days of hands-free, bagless dust collection in a quieter, more compact, and eco-conscious robot vacuum

HONG KONG, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 3i, a pioneering smart home brand, is thrilled to announce the launch of the 3i G10+, the World’s First Robot Vacuum with Debris Compression and Extendable Mop. The G10+ breaks away from traditional bulky auto-empty stations by integrating dust collection directly into its onboard dustbin, powered by proprietary Auto Debris Compression technology. This innovation reduces the frequency of manual emptying and eliminates the noise associated with dust transfer. Combined with its powerful cleaning strength, extensive coverage and flagship-level intelligence, the G10+ is here to redefine what a lightweight cleaning pro can do.

3i G10+, the World’s First Robot Vacuum with Debris Compression & Extendable Mop
3i G10+, the World’s First Robot Vacuum with Debris Compression & Extendable Mop

Low-Noise Debris Compression, 60 Days Without Emptying

What powers the G10+ is 3i’s patented debris compression technology. A mechanical paddle actively compresses dust and debris in real time, allowing the robot to store up to 60 days’ worth of waste in its extra-large 1000ml dustbin, completely hands-free. To ensure hygiene, the G10+ features a built-in UV light that disinfects the stored debris, offering users added peace of mind.

Unlike traditional auto-empty bases, this built-in compression system operates silently and requires no disposable bags, making it both eco-friendly and cost-effective. The included charging dock is ultra-compact and lightweight, easy to place anywhere or move as needed — ideal for both spacious homes and small apartments.

Thorough Cleaning Into Every Corner

To ensure spotless cleaning results even in hard-to-reach areas, the 3i G10+ features an UltraReach™ extendable side brush and mop. The side brush automatically reaches out to sweep debris out of all corners and into the vacuum’s path. Its powerful 18,000 Pa suction, more than double the strength of many comparable products, easily lifts fine dust and heavier debris alike. For mopping, the self-adaptive mop pad is designed to keep constant contact with baseboards and edges, providing gap-free cleaning with a single pass.

Get Flagship Smarts Without the Flagship Price

Intelligence is a cornerstone of the 3i G10+ design. It inherits the same advanced dToF LiDAR navigation system and AI obstacle avoidance as 3i’s flagship, the S10 Ultra. Rather than bumping into furniture or getting lost like some entry-level robot vacuums, the G10+ creates precise maps and actively recognizes over 128 types of objects using its AI camera. It automatically adjusts suction power and water flow based on the types of dirt, and even turns on an LED light in low-light areas to ensure accurate recognition and cleaning.

For homes with carpets, the G10+ includes an ultrasonic sensor that detects carpets before contact. Once a carpet is detected, the mop automatically lifts by 0.4 inches (10 mm) to prevent it from getting wet. Through the 3i app, users can further tailor the robot’s cleaning behavior for each carpeted area, opting to avoid high-pile rugs, boost suction on low-pile carpets, or treat plastic mats like hard flooring. This level of customization ensures optimal cleaning results while preventing cross-contamination between different surfaces.

Beyond carpet care, the G10+ supports a full range of essential in-app features for robot vacuums, including cleaning schedules, no-go zones, do-not-disturb, and more. It also works seamlessly with Google Assistant and Alexa, giving users voice control over their cleaning routine.

Pricing & Availability

The 3i G10+ will be available on Amazon US for $399 (MSRP $449) starting June 16. Use the special code G10USAVE10 to get an extra 10% off, bringing the price down to $359. Code valid through June 30.

About 3i

3i is a pioneering smart home brand fueled by imagination, innovation, and intelligence. Founded by PICEA Corporation — a global leader in robotic cleaning product manufacturing since 2016, with over 30% of the high-end robot vacuum market — 3i aims to make advanced solutions accessible to every home.

With a vision to deliver effortless cleanliness, unparalleled convenience, and lasting peace of mind, 3i is committed to creating never-before-seen products that address both common and overlooked household challenges.

A billion Norwegian Kroner deal to kickstart green Norwegian industrial adventure: Secures access to critical and environmentally friendly materials and creates the green jobs of the future

OSLO, Norway, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A visionary agreement between Höegh Autoliners and Nordic Circles launches a national project that will revolutionize the handling of decommissioned ships. Using Norwegian technology, labor, and industry, old ships will be upcycled in Norway into certified building materials – without melting, without export, and with up to 97% lower emissions.

Nordic Circles and Höegh Autoliners are announcing the agreement on the Blue Talks stage at Nor-Shipping, in front of maritime leaders from around the world, including high-profile speakers such as John Kerry and Andrew Forrest of Fortescue, underscoring the global significance of the initiative.

The project establishes a circular value chain in which decommissioned ships are repurposed as environmentally friendly building materials in Norway.

The agreement covers up to eight ships from Höegh Autoliners, to complete the first upcycling in 2026. These eight ships alone could reduce carbon emissions in the construction industry by 100,000 tons of CO2.

“We aim to be the greenest in deep-sea shipping and have set a net-zero target by 2040. That’s why we’re building the world’s largest and most environmentally friendly car carriers and investing in making green ammonia a viable fuel already from 2027,” says Sebjørn Dahl, COO of Höegh Autoliners. “With this agreement, we ensure sustainability from cradle to grave and lay the foundation for a new green industrial adventure in Norway. We are extremely proud of that.”

The agreement is worth NOK 1.3 billion. The first vessel is scheduled for decommissioning at AF Offshore Decom in Vats.

Norway as a green industrial leader in Europe

Globally, the construction industry accounts for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions, with steel being one of the largest contributors.

That’s why the core of the project is simple: Steel should not be exported and melted down – it should be reused in Norway and Europe. Norwegian shipyards and the steel industry are being developed into a competitive alternative to Turkey, which currently holds the EU’s only large-scale ship recycling capacity. The result is mass-produced steel with minimal emissions, under commercial terms.

The project is already supported by the full range of Norwegian public funding instruments through the Green Platform initiative. The founders of Nordic Circles are behind the initiative and lead the consortium.

AF Offshore Decom is the main contractor. Participants include leading companies from across the value chain, such as Statsbygg, the municipalities of Oslo and Bergen, Skanska, Green Yard, Equinor, DNB, and SINTEF.

“This is circular economy at its best – managing to build a sustainable industry from what we used to export as hazardous waste to Asia. The eight ships will save society around 100,000 tons of CO2 and pave the way for mobilizing shipyards and shipping companies across Europe,” says John Jacobsen, CEO of Nordic Circles and Oppsirk.

Unlocking a global potential

Norway has the fifth largest merchant fleet by value, and when including the EU’s share, we see a market potential covering 45% of the world’s merchant fleet.

A doubling in decommissioning assignments is expected, driven by new climate regulations and an aging fleet.

Along the Norwegian coast, the maritime industry has developed seven EU-approved shipyards capable of decommissioning and upcycling. Among them, AF Offshore Decom at Vats is considered the world’s most environmentally friendly decommissioning facility.

All Norwegian yards have additional capacity, and several are equipped to handle large vessels.

This agreement is therefore the first step toward establishing Norwegian upcycling capacity – and a new green industry for Norway and Europe.

Minister of Climate and Environment Andreas Bjelland Eriksen will give a statement about the agreement at the C04-33 Maritime Bergen stand on Wednesday, June 4, from 11:15 AM to 12:00 PM. There will be interview opportunities with Höegh Autoliners, Nordic Circle, and the Minister.

Aviva and FNZ unveil latest innovations to enhance adviser experience

  • Aviva platform continues development of innovative technology to support advisers.
  • The latest innovation, the Aviva Analytics tool, is now live with selected adviser firms, providing powerful MI and reporting capabilities.
  • This latest innovation is underpinned by the scale and reliability of the Aviva platform, which executes around 350,000 automated trades every day.

LONDON, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Following the launch of its Onshore Bond on Adviser Platform last month, Aviva is pleased to announce its latest technology developments, in partnership with FNZ, as part of its ongoing commitment to enhance support for advisers. The developments are already live with a group of selected firms, ahead of a full rollout planned later this year.

Firstly, Aviva Analytics is an advanced MI suite, to be hosted within a new Adviser Hub area on Aviva’s Adviser Platform.

It will be available through self-serve and will provide access to complex and large volume data reports, containing comprehensive reports and MI. The new functionality will allow advisers to easily manipulate and access all the data in a single, easy to use report.

Aviva Analytics will provide additional data and enable Advisers to build bespoke reports and filtered by factors such as firm, investment type, product type, and individual adviser, without needing to export data to a spreadsheet. 

In addition, further developments will also include enhanced ISA allowance availability and a consolidated view of fees and charges.

These innovations further strengthen the long-term partnership between Aviva and FNZ, who have worked together since 2018, delivering an enhanced experience for advisers.

Al Ward, Head of Aviva Adviser Platform, said: “We are very excited about what Aviva Analytics will offer, and how it will support advisers in providing better MI for their interactions with their clients. The pilot is in its initial stages, and we are looking forward to working with these adviser firms and getting their feedback. This has been a feature of the way we build and deliver upgrades with FNZ, ensuring that our new deliveries meet adviser needs.

“This is the latest in our recent developments. Earlier this month we also announced the deployment of Unipass Letter of Authority on the platform, via Origo technology, which was a step forward in removing an industry barrier for advisers, and allowing them to recommend the most appropriate solutions for their clients.

“We collaborate very closely with FNZ in planning, prioritising and developing these tech developments in support of advisers. When you consider the scale of trading on the platform – around 350,000 automated trades every day – we believe our platform provides the sort of support advisers tell us they need.”

Alastair Conway, Group Head of FNZ UK, said: “Our partnership with Aviva is built on a shared commitment to delivering meaningful, adviser-focused innovation. Aviva Analytics is a great example of how we’re working together to simplify complexity and unlock better access to data, insights, and reporting. The close collaboration between our teams ensures that new features aren’t just technically robust – they’re genuinely useful for advisers and aligned to the way they work. Innovations like this support our wider purpose at FNZ – to open up wealth and make wealth management accessible to more people.”

FNZ and Aviva are co-sponsoring the lang cat’s AdviceTech Catwalk, taking place on 5 June 2025 at Crypt on the Green in London. FNZ serves as the anchor sponsor, with Aviva also lending their support to this showcase of emerging advice technology.
